Help needed - Height under cabin table in lower position?

Catalina 30 mkIII Montreal
Season's greetings everyone!

Just registered today to ask this question to the C30 community. My father-in-law has a 1995 Catalina 30 with a U-shaped cabin seating arrangement, and he currently stores a "standard" cooler (ice chest) underneath the table, which is often in the lowered "double bed" position. We want to offer him an electric fridge cooler for his birthday, but want to make sure to get a model that is the largest that will fit underneath the table in the lower position, and we unfortunately don't have access to his boat to take an exact measurement. Would anyone know this dimension? From pictures it looks like anywhere from 14 to 17 inches - the height changes the fridge volume significantly.

Thanks for any help!
